Descripción general

I need a new book cover for the 5th edition of my book "Cracking the Coding Interview." This book is the #1 best selling interviewing book on Amazon and #3 of all software development books. I have also recently come out with a second book, "The Google Resume".

Cracking the Coding Interview is a book to help software engineers prepare for programming interviews.

Programming interviews involve a person writing programming code up at a WHITE BOARD. It usually a more casual environment, where people wear tshirts and jeans.

The book is a set of puzzles and interview questions, with answers, and other advice.

3. The book title, subtitle, edition, author name, and company name should all appear on the book cover.

4. PLEASE NOTE THE SPELLING OF MY NAME. My name is "Gayle Laakmann McDowell", with two n's in my middle name. This is a different name than is currently on my book.

5. See all the other details below.

ADVICE
----------------------------

1. Focus MUCH more on the overall design (attractive, clean, professional) than on trying to match it to technology / interviewing / cracking. I'd rather have a cover that is clean and professional but has nothing to do with technology / interviewing, than one that is obviously related to technology / interviewing but is ugly or unprofessional.

2. I have a small preference for the book cover to match the general feel (the whiteness) of the second book (The Google Resume), but this is NOT a requirement. I want to get the best book cover possible, and I'm totally ok with not having the two books match.

3. Ideally, the book cover would relate in some way to computers, programming, interviewing, or the word "cracking" / "crack" (the book title). Again, this is "ideally" - this is not a requirement.

4. I generally do not like cheesy, obvious stock art. It's overdone and you see the same images everywhere. (This means that generally images of eggs cracking are not good.)

5. Taking a mediocre design and throwing some binary numbers on there does not make it good.
